VII．Paraphrase the underlined sentences in the following passage.(20points)：
The Selling of the President
Back in1960s,when the role of advertising and PR in po1itics first became apparent,Life magazine quoted one campaign strategist as saying,"I can elect any person to office if he has$60,000,an IQ of at least120,and can keep his mouth shut."Since the l896campaign,the election of a President has been determined1argely by the ability of information specialists to generate favorable publicity．In recent years,that publicity has been supplanted by heavy spot buying on electronic media．So many factors are involved in choosing a President that it is hard to say with any real empirical confidence how important any single medium is.The most talked-about medium in American politics is television．Highly publicized debates between candidates in1960,1976,and1980appear to have affected the outcomes.Richard Nixon the early favorite would probably not have lost to Kennedy were it not for his poor showing on TV similarly the1976debates probably clinched Jimmy Carter's narrow victory over Gerald Ford,and Ronald Reagan appeared to be the victor in the1980debates.
Yet there were other elections where,according to political analyst Edward Chester,no amount of TV exposure could have changed the outcome:Goldwater versus Johnson in l964and Nixon vetsus McGovern in1972.[1]Television commercials seem to work best in close elections or in those where there is a large undecided vote.According to the Associated Press,Ford's TV spots during the1976 campaign probably swung over100,000undecided voters a day during the last few months of the campaign．
What effect does television have on the candidates themselves?[2]It dictates priorities that are different from those of an earlier day.The physical appearance of the candidate is increasingly important. Does he or she look fit,well-rested,secure?Losing candidates like Adlai Stevenson,Hubert Humphrey, and Richard Nixon all seemed to look"bad"on TV.Nixon overcame this problem in l972with ads that featured longer shots of him being"presidential"-flying off to China.Close-ups were avoided．Both John F.Kennedy and Jimmy Carter seemed more at home will the medium,perhaps because both were youthful,informal,and physically active outdoor types.Dwight Eisenhower and Lyndon Johnson seemed to have a paternal,fatherly image on the small screen.[3]All of the recent Presidents have learned how to use the medium to their advantage to"stage"events so as to receive maximum favorable coverage.This has added to the already awesome power of the incurebericy.
Television has changed the importance of issues.[4]It can be argued that since the1960presidential debates we have elected people,not platforms.This is a major departure from ear1ier years.Franklin Roosevelt's radio charisma cannot be denied,but he was swept to power by one issue---he Great Depression．
All the print information we now receive is simpler and more condensed than ever before.Issues and print go together.Television is images，not issues．We develop a more personal，emotional feeling about the candidates.Jimmy Carter's spectacular rise to power was a testament to this new image orientation.No one really knew what he was going to do when he took office,since his entire campaign had been geared toward developing a relationship of trust with the electorate."Trust me,”he said."I'll never lie to you."
A more recent example was the election of Reagan in1980.For some this represented the ultimate television victory.After all,what other country can claim that it has actually elected an Actor President?It can be argued that Americans were tired of Carter and that Reagan simply offered an alternative.Yet throughout the campaign he offered us a media vision of a"shining city on a hill."And what about his constant references to John Wayne,one of the"Last great Americans?"My father,a long-time politician
